The three of them ate all the way to the door of the palace, the carriage had been waiting for a long time, Nangong Ling's husband selection had a total of three levels, what was the specific test, Nangong Ling had not yet announced, one level was one day, the last level was carried out in Manhualou, and the other two levels were in the palace

The place they are going to now is the palace, they are all regular visitors to the palace, this time it is not the night fall, nor the night sunshine, but the night Gui who is in the palace all the year round, Ye Gui has also made careful preparations this time, he disguised himself into a small house, and followed them

Under the leadership of Ye Gui, they successfully came to the place where Nangong Ling chose her husband, and the viewing tower in the palace was very large, accommodating thousands of people, and it seemed very empty, and the viewing building also had two floors, and the first floor sat on the first floor, which must be the participants and the ministers who came to watch, and the children and wives

The second floor sits on the emperor and his concubine Xuanyuan, and the location of the miracle is more special, no longer the second floor is on the first floor, but it will not be crowded with the ministers, there is a separate compartment on the first floor, and the four sides are separated by curtains, so you can see the outside clearly

This compartment is specially prepared by Xuanyuan Qing for the Xuanyuan miracle, and the Xuanyuan miracle I am still very satisfied with this compartment, Feng Xiwu sat inside, looking at the situation outside, which was quite boring, "Nangong Ling, why haven't people come yet, I'm so anxious."

As soon as Feng Xiwu's words fell, he saw Xuanyuan Qing and Li Mei walking hand in hand, and all the ministers knelt down respectfully: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live the queen, long live, thousand years old."

Xuanyuan Qing walked up to the second floor and sat down before he said majestically, "Flat"

"Emperor Xie"

After the ministers sat down, they heard the eunuch next to Xuanyuan Qing say in a sharp voice, "Please stand in the center of all the contestants."

Hearing this, all the contestants stood in the center in turn, looking at the people who stood up one after another, Feng Xiwu looked carefully for a while before saying, "Why are there so many people?"

There are at least a hundred people, and there are really so many officials above the second grade, Feng Xiwu said that he was really puzzled

"Some of them are Jianghu people," Xuanyuan explained the miracle

Feng Mocheng and Feng Xiwu knew each other, and they didn't expect that the people of the rivers and lakes could actually come to participate, and this idea was thought up by Nangong Ling or Xuanyuan Qing

Just when they were puzzled, the eunuch said again: "Today is the first day of the selection, and it is also the first pass, the eldest princess will not appear, but all your actions can be seen by the eldest princess, and now announce the rules of today's selection: first: all the games must be completed in person, and the cheater will be directly disqualified, and second: the person responsible for reviewing you is the emperor, the sixteenth prince, and the eldest princess, and the three of them decide whether you go or stay."

After the eunuch finished speaking, Xuanyuan Qing spoke and asked, "Did you all hear clearly?"

"Hear me clearly"

Xuanyuan Qing nodded with satisfaction, looked at the dense crowd of people below and said, "I announce the official start of the competition, and I will announce the topic of today's competition."

As soon as he fell, he saw many eunuchs walking in, each of them holding a box in his hand, and after all the eunuchs stood up, Xuanyuan Qing stood up from his position, walked to the railing, looked down and said: "These boxes contain the topics of this competition, everyone's topics are different, before you get the box, you draw lots, the order of the lottery determines the order of your selection of boxes"

After speaking, Xuanyuan Qing clapped his hands, and the two eunuchs carried a large basin in, which was filled with water, and there were many colorful stones in the basin

"The stone under the basin is not real, the stone is gently pinched, and there is a number in it, that is, the result of your drawing, the order of your lottery is from high to low in the primary selection, do you have any questions?"

"No," said all of them in unison

Xuanyuan Qing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, let's start."

Feng Xiwu looked at everyone carefully for a while before saying, "Master, why can people from the rivers and lakes also participate in this selection, doesn't it say that there are only officials above the second grade?"

Feng Mocheng was also curious about this answer, staring at Xuanyuan's miracle, and waited until he solved his puzzles: "Originally, it was a second-grade official or above, but later, Nangong Lie proposed to let the Jianghu people participate, so let the Jianghu people also participate."

This made Feng Xiwu wonder, what kind of idea did this Nangong Lie have to let the people of the rivers and lakes participate, so that their marriage with the Celestial Empire would not be in vain

"Why is Master Nangong Lie doing this?"

Xuanyuan shook his head, what Nangong Lie meant, it is estimated that only he knows

Feng Mocheng looked at those Jianghu people for a while before he said: "Cousin, have you noticed that these Jianghu people who participated are all from the Heavenly Empire, and all of them are sons of famous families in the rivers and lakes."

Of course Feng Xiwu noticed it, but even if it is a son of a famous sect in the rivers and lakes, it can't mean anything, the relationship between the royal family and the rivers and lakes has always been very delicate, and the two sides do not interfere with each other, Nangong Lie's approach this time can be regarded as breaking this peace, if there is any problem during the selection period, then the emperor will have a big deal this time

Thinking of this, Feng Xiwu suddenly had an epiphany, and she said: "Do you think Nangong Lie will use these people in the rivers and lakes to disturb the emperor's attention?"

Feng Mocheng and Xuanyuan were very interested, looking at Feng Xiwu and motioning to her, and then said: "You all know that the royal family and the rivers and lakes have always been non-guilty of well water, Nangong Liegui is the crown prince, you don't know this truth, you think that most of these people in the rivers and lakes live in the palace, in case something happens, in case you say who is responsible for this matter?"

Feng Xiwu's point also made Feng Mocheng understand at once, he raised his head and looked carefully at Nangong Lie on the second floor, still a little questioning: "If you say so, the emperor can't think of it, why did he agree to Nangong Lie's request?"

This is also something that Feng Xiwu couldn't figure out, Feng Xiwu looked at Xuanyuan's miracle and asked, "Master, do you know?"

"I don't know if the imperial brother didn't tell me about this," Xuanyuan Miraculous probably guessed Xuanyuanqing's thoughts in his heart, but he didn't ask clearly, only he wouldn't say it, and if it was really as he guessed, Xuanyuan Qing probably wouldn't tell him easily

Feng Xiwu looked through the curtain at the people outside who had already drawn lots, they were already starting to choose the title inside the box according to their numbers, Feng Xiwu was not curious, the only thing she was curious about now was why Xuanyuan Qing agreed to Nangong Lie's condition

"Cousin, do you want to know the subject of this test," Feng Mocheng said mysteriously

Feng Xiwu turned his head to look at Feng Mocheng and said, "You know"

Feng Mocheng nodded and said smugly, "Of course I know."

"How do you know" These questions were all written by Nangong Ling herself, and they were all given to Xuanyuan Qing the night before, how could he know

Feng Mocheng shook his fan and said in a low voice: "Last night, I asked Yeqing to take me to the palace, with Yeqing's leadership, I easily saw the topics of this test, I have to admit that these topics from Nangong Ling are quite standard, at least some of them, I don't know how to start."

Hearing this, Feng Xiwu was very helpless, she really didn't know if she should admire her cousin's boldness, and she dared to break into the palace at night to see the subject

"How many people will pass this time," asked Xuanyuan Miraculously, a flash of worry flashing in his eyes

Feng Mocheng lowered his head and thought about it, "Be conservative, it is estimated that there should only be about four layers, her topic is too tricky, although the person who reviewed it is you, the emperor and Nangong Ling, but after all, the decision is still in Nangong Ling's hands."

"Wu'er, you sit here, I'll go find the imperial brother," Xuanyuan walked out from behind after the miracle finished and went upstairs to find Xuanyuan Qing

The movement of Xuanyuan's miracle was only seen by a few people with a heart, and as soon as he stepped on the second floor, Xuanyuan Qing saw Xuanyuan's miracle, and he said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother, why did you come up?"

Xuanyuan miraculously said very directly: "Brother Huang, I have something to say to you"

Looking at the eyes of Xuanyuan's miracle, a trace of bad premonition flashed in Xuanyuan's heart, and after greeting Nangong Lie, he walked towards Xuanyuan's miracle, Xuanyuan miracle took Xuanyuan Qing to a corner and asked, "Imperial brother, what is your purpose this time?"

He could see that the imperial brother was using this incident to plan something, what he was planning, and it was estimated that only he knew about it, and he didn't plan to tell anyone

Xuanyuan Qing was not surprised at all when he heard this, smiled and said, "I knew that you came back to ask me, I thought that I would have to wait at least until tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to guess so quickly."

"Why" Xuanyuan Miraculous understood that he had guessed before and was not wrong at all, and the imperial brother really had the idea

"Sixteenth brother, don't tell me, you don't know why I did this," Xuanyuan Qing still had a smile on his face

For Xuanyuan Qing's explanation, Xuanyuan miraculously frowned slightly, he put his hands behind his back, looked at Xuanyuan Qing and said, "Imperial brother, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Xuanyuan Qing looked at Nangong Lie, Li Mei and the others not far away, and said solemnly: "I decided to do this after considering the consequences."

Xuanyuan Miracle didn't say much anymore, and simply said a few words: "Brother Huang, since you already have a plan in your heart, I won't advise you to do anything, be careful about this matter, Nangong Ling may collude with Chiyan Country."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xuanyuanqing's eyes, and the sixteenth brother's words were warning him and reminding him at the same time

"I know," Xuanyuan Qing was also glad in his heart, fortunately, the sixteenth brother told him the news so that he could be fully prepared

Xuanyuan miraculously turned around and left, the only thing he could do was this, he was not the emperor of the Celestial Empire, he didn't need to decide whether he should do these things or not, as long as the imperial brother knew what he was doing
